Solar Activity Report: June 1 - 7, 2026

Solar activity fluctuated from low to high and then returned to low levels during the reporting period. The quietest day was June 1, marked by isolated low‑intensity C‑class flares; the strongest event that day was a C1.5 flare from active region 14449 in the southwest portion of the solar disk. Activity increased to moderate levels with frequent C‑class flares and three M‑class events: M3.3 and M1.3 flares from active region 14455 in the northern hemisphere, and an M1.2 flare from active region 14461 near the southeast limb.

Activity rose further on June 3, reaching high levels when active region 14455 produced three major flares - M9.3, M7.7, and the week’s strongest event, an X1.0 flare. Following this peak, activity declined, with the strongest events being a C2.6 flare on June 4 and a C4.7 flare on June 5. Activity briefly returned to moderate levels on June 6 with an M1.8 flare from active region 14461. By June 7, conditions had settled back to low levels with only low‑intensity C‑class flares.

Several of the M‑ and X‑class flares were associated with coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that produced minor to moderate geomagnetic activity.
